I've seen the USB coffee warmer on a few blogs this week but didn't even bother clicking on the link to see its specifications. Today however I saw it on my friend's blog, Catsutorials. I thought I'd link it to show what a hardware technician thinks of it:

As for that warmer? I've repaired way too many coffee streaked keyboards in my time to even risk that accident on my desk.

Not for me either. I don't really keep a strict protocol of keeping food away from the computer but I try to keep my liquids a safe distance away.
